"We have just seen the haunted house; it is indeed very excellent."
Without paying attention to Nagumo Miyabi, Hikigaya turned back to look at Teacher Mashima.
No matter which homeroom teacher it was, in the eyes of students, teachers to some extent represented the school's opinion.
The one that needed convincing.
Was only Teacher Mashima.
"Different from ordinary schools."
Hikigaya furrowed his brows, pretending to be worried:
"Advanced Nurturing is a school led by the state; the guests this time include not only students but also some politicians and dignitaries, don't they?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"These politicians should all be over forty years old, right? They should more or less have some physical ailments. If they were to have a problem due to excessive fright, could we bear this responsibility?"
Speaking.
Hikigaya turned and pointed toward the entrance of the haunted house, saying flatly:
"Therefore, I suggest it is necessary to set up a warning sign at the entrance of the haunted house, reminding guests with various diseases like coronary heart disease to enter with caution."
"Don't you agree?"
Hmm.
That makes some sense.
If someone were to be scared into a heart attack, they truly couldn't bear the responsibility, it's just that the probability of this is really not high.
Those high-ranking officials and politicians often maintain their health.
At least their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people; they aren't as fragile as Hikigaya said.
Teacher Mashima looked at Hikigaya before him.
This guy seems very good at standing on the moral high ground, using the general trend to pressure people and make those around him shut up.
It's not hard.
Hikigaya had gained experience from being scolded in the past; he just had to do the opposite.
"What a joke!"
Nagumo Miyabi's cheeks turned red with anger:
"Those high-ranking officials and politicians aren't fools; people with heart disease naturally won't enter when they see a haunted house."
--- PAGE 6 ---
"Nagumo, watch your speech."
Teacher Mashima furrowed his brows.
Who are you insulting?
Are high-ranking officials and politicians people you can insult?
Although he was just a teacher, Teacher Mashima was part of the establishment and was also the second-year grade supervisor; wasn't that the same as insulting him?
"Sorry..."
Nagumo Miyabi also knew he had said the wrong thing, and said while suppressing his anger:
"It's just that I feel a warning sign is completely unnecessary. Teacher Mashima, this guy is just abusing his power, deliberately targeting me."
Targeting him.
He is absolutely targeting him!
Nagumo Miyabi clenched his fists, almost exploding with anger.
His four classes jointly organized the haunted house and it only left one hundred private points; they weren't even thinking of making money.
Even so, he's deliberately finding faults with him.
If this isn't targeting him, then what is it?
Although he knew Hikigaya was a petty person, Nagumo Miyabi was still very displeased.
Too low.
Actually.
Hikigaya was not targeting Nagumo Miyabi specifically, but rather targeting everyone present.
Those who like to do flashy things.
Don't think anyone will have an easy time.
"Who knows."
Hikigaya explained with a flat expression:
"In the end, it's just a high schoolers' haunted house; it has a significant gap compared to professionals like Disney."
"In the eyes of guests, they might make a misjudgment because they underestimate the level of high school students, but your haunted house is indeed well-done."
"If guests are frightened because of this, can you take responsibility?"
"It's just asking you to set up a notice board at the door; why is there such a big objection?"
Speaking.
Hikigaya raised an eyebrow at Nagumo Miyabi.
Standing on the moral high ground, you cannot out-argue me.
It must be said.
Do those people like to occupy the moral high ground and bash others from there because it truly feels great?
Hearing this.
Nagumo Miyabi's face turned flushed red, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.
Speaking with such a one-in-ten-thousand probability.
Is very shameless.
But he indeed could not bear that responsibility.
It was just a warning sign, truly not a big problem.
But Nagumo Miyabi was really quite angry, looking down on Hikigaya's smug, petty appearance.
Isn't he just targeting him? If you have the ability, just kill me directly.
What's the point of targeting like this?
Even if it is targeting.
If you have the ability, say it directly.
Clearly, he was deliberately targeting him, yet Hikigaya, this guy, actually refused to admit it.
"Teacher, how is it?"
Hikigaya didn't pay any attention, turning to look at Teacher Mashima.
There was no choice.
Power was only this little; ultimately, it still depended on the school's opinion.
"What a joke."
Nagumo Miyabi was still somewhat unconvinced, looking coldly at Hikigaya and saying:
"People in the past have never been as shameless as you; the cultural festival belongs to everyone, won't your conscience hurt if you mess up the cultural festival like this?"
"Tch..."
Hikigaya said with some disdain: "That's because you were derelict in your duties and didn't consider problems thoroughly enough; if you hadn't been lucky, problems would have occurred long ago."
"You..."
Nagumo Miyabi clenched his fists, wanting very much to give him a beating.
Only now did he discover.
This guy's verbal sparring is truly powerful.
He is relentless when he has the upper hand.
Standing on the moral high ground and targeting him to death.
"Calm down for a bit, wait a moment."
Speaking.
Teacher Mashima pulled out his phone and turned to leave.
He naturally knew that Hikigaya was targeting Nagumo Miyabi, or working for the benefit of Class B, but what was said indeed made some sense.
No.
It made a lot of sense.
Strictly speaking.
Advanced Nurturing's introduction of the external guest system only started from this year; it was the first time.
In case something truly went wrong.
They really couldn't bear that responsibility; at least, he couldn't bear it.
Soon.
Teacher Mashima returned to the two of them and looked at Hikigaya, saying in a heavy voice.
"If a warning sign is set up in front of the haunted house, then what about the other classes?"
The meaning between the lines.
This is unfair to Nagumo Miyabi's project.
Even if it makes sense, fairness still comes first; at least on the surface, fairness must be maintained.
"Of course they must have them too."
Hikigaya said indifferently: "No matter which class it is, they all need to set up relevant warning signs; at least the responsibility must be shifted out first."
"Shameless."
Nagumo Miyabi gritted his teeth, while Mashima on the side remained silent.
Being able to shift responsibility out was indeed very important, but it still couldn't be shifted completely; at most, it would just share the responsibility.
Anyway, I've written the warning sign.
If a problem still occurs, the other party also has a certain responsibility.
Therefore.
Chairman Sakayanagi probably agreed so easily because it wasn't something that had to be done.
Better to have one less thing to worry about than one more.
This kind of responsibility where one takes the blame but gets no benefit.
It was better to have as little of it as possible.
"Then fine, as long as the warning sign serves its purpose of reminding people."
"Understood."
Hikigaya turned to look at Nagumo Miyabi and said flatly:
"Senior Nagumo, I will dictate and you write, or should I do it for you?"
"I'll do it myself."
Nagumo Miyabi gritted his teeth.
He turned around and quickly found a small blackboard to place at the door.
Since the school had already agreed, he had no other choice.
Most importantly.
Even if he wanted to play some tricks, Hikigaya would certainly be picking faults nearby.
It was better to write it himself.
Hearing Hikigaya's narration, Nagumo Miyabi's eyes were filled with fire, and every stroke was extremely forceful.
Beast.
[This haunted house is exquisitely produced.]
[Patients with heart diseases such as heart failure, arrhythmia, and coronary heart disease, please consider carefully.]
[Patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc., please consider carefully.]
[Patients with cerebrovascular diseases, etc., please consider carefully.]
Watching this scene.
A smile appeared at the corners of Hikigaya's mouth.
Even for a haunted house.
With such a warning sign.
I'm afraid one would already be half-scared to death before even entering.
Let's see who is still willing to enter.
He indeed wasn't targeting Nagumo Miyabi deliberately; it was just incidental.
To maintain apparent fairness, not a single shop could be let off.
Pity.
Hikigaya also roughly knew.
Such means wouldn't be of much use; they could only restrict honest people, and Nagumo Miyabi was clearly not honest.
However, it still had to be done.
He wanted to constantly stir up trouble for this group of people.
Next stop.
Go check on second-year Class D while he was at it.
